Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 4 pieces fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 serving whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and slice them in half.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt completely.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly into the skillet and stir gently until it begins to dissolve, creating a light caramel base.
Add the sliced strawberries to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to coat them well in the butter and sugar mixture.
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the strawberries and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the strawberries are softened and slightly caramelized.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for a subtle flavor boost.
Stack or tear the fresh basil leaves into small pieces and sprinkle them over the sautéed strawberries for a fragrant twist.
Serve warm, optionally paired with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a creamy contrast.
